Eleven seasons and multiple spin-offs later, The Walking Dead shuffled off this mortal coil in November 2022.

Here’s our ranking of the worst to best installments of the landmark series.

The return offamily-man Moralesfrom the first season was the greatest indication that the creative minds are out of ideas.

In the intervening years, Morales had lost his wife and daughter and joined up withNegan’s Saviors.

It’s cheap, nasty stuff unfortunately, not in a good way.

The Oceanside story line, in particular, was woefully underserved.

The final season brought into clear focus the broad scope of the entire series.

Six episodes, like the first season, would have been a perfect length for the story told here.

It was a breathtaking feat of writing and direction, as was most of this stellar season.

His unadulterated psychopathy led to some of the most fascinating and brutal moments across this season and the next.
